wasabi should not be hosted off dev space, as this is too unreliable and low bandwidth. It should be on mirror://gentoo/ instead. (By the way -- any chance of you getting a wasabi Component: field in bugzilla? This isn't a catalyst bug...)
Fixed in CVS. I'd rather have a gentoo-hosted-projects bugzie component rather than a wasabi component, but I'll leave that up to the powers that be.
